  • Which Side Really Inspires Violence, the Right or Left?

    By Selwyn Duke Is the right responsible for inspiring murder, such as that of late-term abortionist George Tiller by Kansas native Scott Roeder?  Some certainly seem to think so.  For instance, the Friday before last Bill O’Reilly had as a guest on his show Joan Walsh, the editor of leftist news site Salon.com.  She appeared…

  • Guest Piece: The Murder of Civil Life

    By Bruce Walker The putrid comments by Letterman about Sarah Palin and her daughter, and the dethronement of Carrie Prejean for the vice of honesty bring home just how savagely civil life has been murdered by the Left.  We no longer have a civil public life.  It has been crushed between pinchers of enraged nihilism…

  • Barbara "Call Me Senator" Boxer Shows Disrespect to Brigadier General http://youtube.com/v/lp-4HTToYHEIn this video, the odious, imperious Barbara Boxer takes offense at being addressed as "ma'am" by a very respectful brigadier general. She actually interrupted his testimony to condescendingly demand that he call her by her title, "senator." Well, I could think of a few other…

  • The Mystery of the Bearer Bonds

    On June 3, what appeared to be United States securities worth $134.5 billion were confiscated by Italy’s financial police at the Swiss border. Two weeks later, the mystery still remains. Are they authentic or counterfeit? What’s the story behind the story? By Selwyn Duke It sounds like the beginning of a Tom Clancy novel. Two…

  • Guest Piece: What Happens When CBS Goes Bankrupt?

    By Bruce Walker Government ownership of business will cause – as history has shown so many times – gross mismanagement and inefficiency.   We can expect that, of course, but those are recoverable calamities.   What worries me more is what happens when CBS goes bankrupt?  The network news audience is dropping like a rock?  http://newsbusters.org/node/29019/hmtl.  What…

  • O'Reilly and Slate.com's Joan Walsh Go at it Over Tiller and Late Term Abortions http://youtube.com/v/6Z-zl-exifkI don't know if any of you caught this O'Reilly segment last night, but Joan Walsh of left-wing e-rag Salon.com epitomizes everything that is wrong with the media. I'm not sure if she's worse than that odious foreigner Arianna Huffington, but…

  • Home Bible Study Threatened in Bonito, Calif.

    By Selwyn Duke If the Chinese need any help with their crackdown on the Falun Gong religious group, perhaps they should try to recruit San Diego County bureaucrats. Because if a recent attempt on the municipality’s part to stifle Bible study in a private home in Bonita, California, is any indication, there are at least…

  • Governments Abroad Moving Right . . . Right, Left, Right . . .

    Some journalists are saying that while the left currently holds sway in the United States, it is collapsing in foreign lands. Yet, what is the left? What is the right? Do we really know our right from our left? By Selwyn Duke It has long been observed that the easiest way to be a giant…

  • Bob Hope and Politics http://youtube.com/v/RWpU8sX10_4This short clip is from the 1940 movie The Ghost Breakers. If you watch it, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Ah, how I long for the days when common sense could still be found in Hollywood.
